GENEVA (AN) — Almost half of the world's 2.2 billion children live among 33 nations where there is an "extremely high" potential for deadly exposure to multiple shocks due to inadequate essential services, UNICEF’s first child-focused climate risk index found on Thursday.
Among those approximately 1 billion children who face the greatest risks, the most vulnerable to disruptions to their health and education live in Central African Republic, Chad, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Nigeria, according to the Children's Climate Risk Index launched in collaboration with the Fridays for Future youth climate movement.
